"Asuka! .. Asuka where are you?", Momoe's loud screams tore the air and rudely woke the Queen of Obelisk out of her quiet sleep. "Mmh? What's going on? Why are you yelling like that?" Asuka asked her friend sleepily. "It's only half past five, let me sleep at least another five minutes." With these words the blonde turned on the other side, snuggled into the warm duvet and was almost immersed in the land of dreams again because ... - " Tell me, do you still have them all? ", She snapped at Momoe angrily, - she tore the covers off her. "Get up, you late riser! Don't you know what day it is today?" "What kind of a day?" Asuka slowly lifted her eyelids and looked tiredly at her friend. "My goodness again! Asuka-chan, today is your wedding!" The blonde jumped out of bed as if struck by lightning; suddenly she was wide awake. She quickly dashed into the bathroom, almost falling over and seconds later you could hear the rushing water.'Incredible! She even forgets her own wedding! 'Shaking his head, Momoe made her way down to the kitchen, where Junko was already waiting for her with breakfast. "Well? Where did you leave Asu-chan?", She asked the black-haired woman. "She's still taking a shower." "Oh man! Then it can still take a while. But she already knows that she has to be in church at 10 o'clock?" "I think so, but you never know with her. After all, she has forget their wedding too ... "

"There I am!", With these words the blonde, young woman rushed downstairs into the kitchen with nothing more than a bathrobe. "What do you mean here?" Junko asked reproachfully. "It's already half past six! You still have to have breakfast, get dressed, put on your make-up, do your hair, we still have to go to church ... Heaven! We'll never make it in life! We're guaranteed to be late!" theatrically raised her arms and sighed. "Hopefully I'll never get married ..." Then Momoe threw her friend a sidelong glance that said more than a thousand words.You could see her lips silently forming the name 'Jun'. "... Okay! But if I get married it won't be such a mess!", She added weakly.

After they were finally done with breakfast, the harder part came: trying on the wedding dress! "Oh dear! I think I've gained a few pounds in the last two weeks!" Asuka groaned. "Oh nonsense! That's okay, you just have to pull in your stomach a little.", Momoe replied. "You see? It fits perfectly! What do you want?"

"Ok, now the hair!" Junko determined. "What kind of hairstyle do you want? Up? With a clasp? With a hair tie? Braided? Open? Curly? Smooth? Blown? With or without hairspray?" "Can't we just leave my hair as it is?", Asuka started a pathetic protest attempt. "But it's your wedding, dear! You are special! You have to have a special hairstyle!", Junko replied in a tone that did not allow any contradiction.Asuka sighed in resignation and finally surrendered.

"Mmmh ... Maybe we should leave the hair as it always is ..." Momoe said two hours later. "That makes no sense, your hair is really unruly, Asu-chan!" "Yes, I also think that won't work today. It keeps falling down as soon as we have pinned it up a bit and we get it curly even more moaned Junko. "I told you that from the beginning, but you didn't want to listen to me!" Asuka said with a slight hint of superiority in her voice. "Oh yeah? Then do your own hair, it's your wedding too, after all!" Junko hissed angrily. "Hey! Now calm down again, both of you!", Momoe tried to settle the emerging argument. "There's no point if we argue now. We'll just leave your hair as usual and take care of the make-up now, okay?"

"Done! You look beautiful!Like a queen. The Queen of Obelisk. "Sighing, Junko sank down on a chair, stretched his legs in front of him and raised his hands over her head. Emperor and Queen ... That kind of fits.", giggled Momoe. "How cute! That's so romantic! And you are about to get married!" Squeaked Junko. That was the catchphrase Asuka had been waiting for the whole time: Get married! Until now she had been calm and relaxed, praying that her friends wouldn't get so cheesy and that things would go normal. But those were pipe dreams. Her friends were super cheesy and thought it was super romantic that she, the "Queen of Obelisk" would marry the "Kaiser". Of course, it was romantic. But it also brought her back to reality in one fell swoop and instantly the excitement was there. Suddenly she was scared: what if something went wrong? What if all of a sudden he didn't want to marry her anymore? So what?"Hey, Asu! What's going on? You're shivering! Are you cold?", Momoe asked her friend, worried. "No! She's just excited. Wasn't it, Asu-chan?", Junko said and winked conspiratorially at the blonde. "Believe me, I know how it is!" "Yes, I believe you! That's how you feel every time you meet Jun.", Momoe replied with a laugh. At first Junko wanted to say something bad and tease her black-haired friend a bit with Fubuki, but then she left it at that and joined in with her friend's laughter. Asuka couldn't help but smile either. "Well, you see? It's better!" Said Momoe encouragingly. "And now come on, we have to hurry, it's already nine thirty and it's still a long way to church. Besides, the car has been waiting for ten minutes. With the horn we will soon have a complaint from neighbors about disturbing the peace. "With these words the black-haired Asuka pulled towards the door.


In the meantime in the church:"Where is she? It's ten o'clock soon!" A turquoise-haired young man looked at his watch again and again and became increasingly nervous. "She'll come soon. It's not ten yet. Besides, she's a woman; women always come too late.", His best friend tried to calm him down. "Maybe she got scared.", Objected Jun. "I don't think so, not Asuka. I know my sister.", Fubuki said confidently.


Back at Asuka, Momoe and Junko:

"Damn idiot! Why can't he drive faster? Great, now the traffic light is red too! We just missed that!", Momoe ranted. "Don't get so upset now, Momoe-chan. It won't get any better.", Junko tried to appease her. "You see, the traffic light is green again." Sighing, Asuka sank deeper into the back seat. Somehow she had imagined the whole thing to be less stressful and exhausting. She was supposed to get married in five minutes, but was still stuck in a traffic jam with her hyperactive friends and miles from church.She groaned in agony, which earned her a worried look from Junko: "What's going on, Asu-chan? Are you not feeling well?" "No, no. Everything is fine." Asuka managed a weak smile, but what totally unsuccessful.[i]'Hopefully we'll be there soon. ', she thought restlessly.

The abrupt start of the car catapulted Asuka forward and almost slammed her face against Momoe's headrest. "Can't you open ...?", The blonde wanted to hit her friend, but she couldn't finish the sentence because Momoe's heavy braking threw her back against the back seat. "That idiot! He probably won his driver's license in the lottery!", The black-haired woman began to scold again. "If things continue like this, we will never arrive in time ...", sighing Junko picked up her handbag, which had fallen to the ground when Momoe's braking action.


In the church:

"I'm going crazy here!Where are they staying? "Ryo paced restlessly in front of the altar." Now sit down! You're still driving me crazy. I'm sure they'll be here soon. Maybe they're stuck in a traffic jam or the make-up is blurred or some other little thing. You know how women are. "said Fubuki." And what if she changed her mind or something happened to her? What if she had an accident? ", Ryo replied angrily." If something had happened, they would have called us. Believe me, everything is fine. They'll be coming any minute. "


In front of the church, with Asuka, Momoe and Junko:

“There we are!” “At last, I thought we'd never arrive!” Junko groaned and got out of the car and held the door open for Asuka. "What time is it?" She asked, slightly panicked. "Cool off! It's only ten past ten. We're almost on time," said Momoe. "Don't worry, they won't have started without you, they can't do that well either." Junko said with a grin, "Come on, let's go in."In the church:

“Thank God! There they are at last.” Ryo let out a relieved breath. "What did I tell you? You were probably stuck in a traffic jam or Momoe remembered on the way that she forgot the photo." Fubuki patted his friend on the shoulder. "Come on! Or do you suddenly feel jittery? The great emperor is afraid! Of a simple wedding. Man Ryo: Millions of people worldwide get married every day, every hour, every minute, you will survive that too," he said Brown-haired mockingly. "Of course.", Ryo stuttered while a slight red sheen lay on his cheeks.

Asuka had meanwhile reached the altar and stood next to Ryo. She beamed. Her father, who had been waiting for her outside, looked at her again and then went to his seat next to his son in the first row.

'So these are the last minutes I'll be called tenjoin. If I get out of here right away, I'll be Asuka Marufuji.', Asuka shot through the head as she stood next to her fiancé and looked intently at the pastor.[i]'Oh man! Why am I so excited? I have very sweaty hands. Nothing bad is happening. I marry! That's something nice. Besides, I've seen it dozens of times on TV. Nothing can happen at all. I am very calm. 'Asuka tried to encourage herself.

The pastor began with his usual text: "And so I ask you, Ryo Marufuji, do you want to marry Asuka Tenjoin, who is present here? Love and honor her until death do you part? So you answer with 'Yes'." "Yes, I do." Smiling, Ryo looked at Asuka and squeezed her hand tighter. Now the pastor turned to her and asked her the same thing: "And so I ask you, Asuka Tenjoin, do you want to take Ryo Marufuji, who is present here, as a husband? Love and honor him until death do you part? So you answer with ' Yes'.
